Does traveling wreak havoc with your weight and health goals?

I’m Dr. Michael Christensen, and as an international airline captain I cross the globe constantly. Many people I know in our industry struggle not to gain weight or to maintain their ideal weight.

Yet I was able to lose 25 pounds while traversing multiple countries and continents, and so was Larry, also an international pilot.

How did we do it? We followed the UdP™ or Ultimate diet Process, which I developed after continually losing and regaining the same 10-20 pounds.

In the past, before my physicals, I’d manage to lose enough weight to squeak by. But two weeks later I’d be back over that weight, with an added 5 pounds.

I realized that conventional diets don’t work and there had to be a better way – especially for travellers who have irregular eating and sleeping schedules.

That’s why I did a deep dive into the research, and wrote this book, based on the scientific evidence.

Whether you work in the airline industry or travel for business or pleasure, this is the only book that offers a solution to maintaining a healthy weight while on the road.

Praise for 2 Day Gift of Wellness

“This book clearly demonstrates the downfalls of most diets. I recommend it to anyone who wants to lose weight and keep it off.”

-John Berish

“This gift will keep on giving for the rest of your life.”

— Debra Thomas, INHC, Author of What Did I Eat? Stop food reactions and find the right foods for you.

The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is not a diet book…

The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is not a diet book. In fact, I coined the phrase the UdP, or Ultimate diet Process (with a small “d”) because it’s not a diet at all. It’s a lifestyle that promotes health, with weight loss as a by-product.

And it’s based on what the science says, not on the latest fad diet popularized in the media.

Here’s the truth: if the first diet worked, why would you need a new one?

Most diets work in the short run because when you reduce the amount you eat, you lose weight – temporarily.

But you can’t keep it up, and sooner or later you slip back into your old habits. Then, BAM! The weight comes back with a vengeance.

Travelling is almost a magnet for attracting extra weight

Think of the stress you put on your body when you travel constantly.

You’re changing time zones so your circadian rhythm is messed up. You’re unable to schedule regular workouts, and find yourself trapped in an airplane or some foreign town. You end up eating when food is available, or out of boredom, exhaustion or loneliness.

So what’s the answer?

Wellness, with weight loss as a happy side-effect!

Eat this. Don’t eat that.

With conventional diets you have to keep track of calories or points, or eat certain kinds of food. That doesn’t work well for most people, but it’s even worse for business travellers and airline personnel.

The beauty of the UdP is that you only count calories 2 days a week. I admit, those days talk a little planning. But the rest of the time you can eat anything you enjoy, as long as you do it mindfully. That simplifies your eating when you travel.

What if you could avoid gaining weight, and even lose weight while experiencing all the cuisines the world has to offer?

What if you could fight off jet lag more effectively, and lose weight at a steady pace (if that’s your goal), while gaining energy, stamina and better sleep?

Are you willing to give yourself the 2 day gift of wellness?

The 2 Day Gift of Wellness is based on 8 principles of wellness.

Each principle is important on its own, but the strength comes in combining them to make up the UdP.

The heart of the UdP system is the Triple R day: two days a week that you take for yourself to relax and reduce stress.

Reducing stress is vital to rejuvenating, as well as to losing weight, and maintaining your ideal weight once you reach it.

And no, there is no requirement to eat certain foods, or eliminate other foods from your life. When you learn the process of the UdP, you can eat whatever foods you enjoy.
